Key West Reports That Three of the
Soldiers Were Killed.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept 10-A special from
Key West to the Times Democrat says:
While in ambush some miles from Matan-
zas Thursday afternoon. just after landing
the band of Cuban filibu5ters, which left
here recently, were attacked by detarh-
ment of 800 Spanish soldiers. The
latter were repulsed, leaving three Of
their number dead and carrying off five
who had been wounded by the dyna-
mite bombs thrown by the filibusters
-Four of the Cubans were wounded, but not
at all seriously, by shots from the soldiers.
The tilibusters then made their way into the
interior, and private advices received from
the leader by representative of the cause
here this morning announce that they have
joined those who had preceded them
at is believed here that certain Spanish
smacks, the property of wealthy Cuban
home rulers, sailing out of Havana, and
which are supposed to be in the fishing
trade, are really doing a profita-
BILE business smuggling aquardiente
to the Florida mainland, and carrying arms
and achievements on their return to Cuba
from Tampa and this city. Two Spanish
gunbOats have been cruising in sight of this

EXECUTIVE MANSION,


WASHINGTON, Sept. z, 1887.
Hon. Rufus z. Lester, Mayor, Savannah, Ga:
DEAR SIR have received the invitation
kindly rendered me in behalf of the municipal
authorities, and civic and military organiza-
tions of Savannah. and also the Georgia His
torical Society, to visit that city during my con-
templated trip to the West and South,
am in receipt of like invitations from many
other localities, and have delayed action there
upon until could definitely determine which of
them my time and positive engagements al
ready made would permit me to accept. To my
regret, now find il necessary to send to a large
number OF them replies similar to this:
The trip is to be undertaken for the purpose of
fulfilling my promises 10 visit st. Louis and At
lanta The dates of these visits are fixed and
as both are included in single trip, the inter
vening time between these two dates is substan-
tally all that can be devoted to visiting other
cities.
1t is a physical impossibility in these circum-
stances, to accept all the kind and cordial nv-
tations which have been rendered me, and
have been obliged to mark out route of travel
and select as stopping places such cities as are
on the way or which, for other controlling rea-
sons, it seems most desirable to visit at the
time.
am sorry that the plan precludes the posi-
bllty of my acceptance of the invitations from
Savannah, and trust the good people of your
city will not attribute my failure to comply
with their wishes, so warmly and heartily ex-
pressed, to any want of appreciation Of their re-
gard or to any lack of desire TO be their guest
Yours very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

AUSTIN, TEX, Sept. 10.-Great excite
ment prevails here over report from Man
chaca, a small village fifteen miles south
west of this city. 1t is reported that officers
had overhauled and attacked band of train
robbers, supposed to be the same gang that

when the latter opened fire, wounding one
OF them. Two outlaws have thus far been
fatally wounded. Fighting still continues.
Help was asked for from this place, and

fresh train robbery had been committed,
but this proved erroneous. The wounded
outlaws will be brought here tonight.

AUSTIN, TEX, Sept. 10, II P. M.-Later
information from Manchaca, the scene of

pletely surrounded. 1t is thought
they all will be killed or captured within the
next "a hours. One Deputy Sheriff has
been badly wounded. From DISPATCHES re-
ceived 10y Gov. Ross it Is believed that the
outlaws are the same band that committed

RED RIVERS RAILROAD.
The Dominion Governrl ant Comes Out

Squarely Against 1t.
CHICAGO, Sept 10-The Times special
from Winnipeg says: THE Dominion gov
eminent has shown cloven foot and come
out squarely against the Red River Valley
road. To-day, at the instance of the gov
eminent, the firm of Aiken, Pulver & Hamil-
ton filed two bills in equity praying that the
Red River Valley contractors and MeSsrs.
NOrquay q Wilson be restrained from
building railroad across twelve lots held
by the government as crown lands. The
two bills of complaint are precisely the
same in wording, the only difference being
that OF the lots which they cover. They
are much the same as the bills formerly
filed. Minister of Justice Thompson is the
informant, and signed the bills when he was
here few days ago. The action becomes
one of the Queen represented by the Do
minion government, VS.. the Queen, repre-
resented by the Provincial government, and
promises to be one of the most celebrated
in the Canadian annals. The bills were
ready for filing for a considerable time, but
it was only decided to spring them to-day,
when it became known by remarks in the
argument dropped by the Chief Justice in
the Browning case, now before the court,
that he would certainly dismiss the motion
of the plaintiff, who has virtually acknowl-
edged himself puppet of the Cananadian
Pacific"

We stood beside our darling brother,
Watching his loving, smiling face
And bathing his feverla laden brow.
Time passed on ard bis strength wa spent,
And God willed he should not rise,
So he calmly closed his sweet. blue eyes,
Fell asleep and awoke with the heavenly crown
Clasped firmly in his hand.
Pete, some day we shall meet and understand
There were six kind and loving brothers
Bound heart to heart with love so true,
And to break the links that bound them
Filled our happy home with gloom.
Our hearts are aching with bitter anguish
That our noble young brother must die
Must leave the cheerful, happy home,
Where he was his sisters love and pride.
He is gone. One last kiss; one sad good-by.
He is happy with his angel-mother in heaven
